Eric Pele

Eric Pele, the King of the Cage Super Heavy contender, was born in 1969. He is a mixed martial artist in the heavyweight category and specializes in Jiu jitsu. Also known as “Big E”, Eric wieghs 340lbs (154 Kg) and is 6’2 tall. He is associated with the “Lewis” and currently resides in Las Vegas, USA. His current records position him with 10 wins 3 losses with 4 KOs, 4 Submissions, and 2 decisions.

Eric started his wrestling career right from his high school. He wrestled for a year, after which he took a break from wrestling for a while. Later, Eric wanted to get back in shape through wrestling, which is why he began training in Jiu-Jitsu. It was here where he realized that he could take up Jiu-Jitsu to enhance his career as a wrestler.
He then began to work further on his boxing and undertook training with “Marvin Eastman”. He is currently coaching under “Skipper Kelp”, who is the head boxing coach at “University of Las Vegas”. His training starts with “Phil Baroni” who is his weight trainer, moving on to “Aqil” who is the conditioning trainer, with the overall training in the night under Martin. Eric prepares himself for a fight, by following a training session that breaks his body for the last two weeks, and the last one week he builds it back to peak himself for the fight.

Along with being a mixed martial artist, Eric is a renouned Tatoonist from 5 years now.  He is known to carry big and bold tattoos both colored and black and white. His tattoo designs, known as "flash" are extremely popular. Eric believes that art is a way through which one can express oneself, and tattooing is an art that gives the freedom to each individual to express his or her personality on their body. He helps to bring out what's in someone's mind out, for the world to see!

Eric has grown through his past fights. He believes in getting better and better in this sport, which he loves the most. One can expect Eric to be more efficient, in displaying his potential at his future fights. His biggest ambition is to get to Japan, since that is one place where he can get paid really well. In future, he wishes to fight “Bob Sapp”.
The Big B however strongly believes that, if he cannot earn good enough through wrestling, he would concentrate on his artistic skills of painting, tattooing and airbrushing.
